This study investigated color constancy in computer simulations with varying Munsell values. Surface-color matches demonstrated approximate color constancy, while hue-saturation matches showed a tendency towards chromaticity matching.

Area of Science:

Vision Science
Computational Optics
Colorimetry

Background:

Previous research by Arend and Reeves (1986) measured color constancy under simulated daylight illuminants.
This study extends prior work to chromatic arrays across a wider range of Munsell values.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate color constancy in computer simulations with varied Munsell values.
To compare surface-color matches with hue-saturation matches under different illuminants.
To evaluate the influence of display type (annulus vs. Mondrian) on color constancy.

Main Methods:

Computer simulations of Munsell paper arrays under 4000K, 6500K, and 10,000K illuminants.
Observer adjustments for surface-color matches and hue-saturation matches.

Related Experiment Videos

Experiments utilized both annulus and Mondrian display conditions.

Main Results:

Data aligned with previous findings on equal Munsell value arrays.
Surface-color matches often exhibited approximate color constancy.
Hue-saturation matches, while directional, were closer to chromaticity matches than true hue-saturation constancy.

Conclusions:

Color constancy is achievable through surface-color matching in simulated chromatic arrays.
Hue-saturation matching criteria do not fully capture color constancy under these conditions.
The findings contribute to understanding human color perception in complex visual scenes.
